Episode: Interview With "Dangerous Animals" Star Jai Courtney
Description: "Dangerous Animals" had its world premiere in the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its brutal shark kills, handling of genre tone, and Jai Courtney's unhinged performance as the serial killer who feeds his victims to sharks and films them in the process. Courtney was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about his experience making the film, which you can listen to below! Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Independent Film Company. Thank you, and enjoy!
